Travelling with reduced mobility

At FlixBus, we are committed to making travel accessible to everyone, regardless of mobility needs.

While we strive to accommodate all passengers across our entire network, the level of accessibility available may vary depending on the bus facilities and stop infrastructure on each route - for example, not all stops are wheelchair-accessible, as these are managed by their respective local operators.

The information below will help you understand your options and what steps to take before your journey.

General information about travelling with reduced mobility

If your disability or limited mobility allows you to use a standard seat, and you are able to board and alight the bus independently or with the assistance of a travelling companion, you are welcome to book and travel on any line in our network without any prior notification required.

However, if you plan to bring mobility aids such as a wheelchair (stored in the luggage hold), walking aids, or other orthopaedic aids, please notify us at least 36 hours before departure so we can make the necessary arrangements.

For journeys in Australia, please inform us at least 24 hours before departure.

Your mobility aids can be transported free of charge.


Travelling in your wheelchair on the entire network

If you need to remain seated in your wheelchair throughout the journey, additional checks are required to ensure we can safely accommodate you.

Please review the topic wheelchairs and walking aids and the sections below for additional information on wheelchair and walking aids registration.

Please contact our Customer Service 7 days before departure so we can carry out the necessary checks to verify that your journey can be accommodated.
